Sustainable, handcrafted, small batch textiles and clothing
Rachel is a handweaver, crafting one-of-a-kind textiles on manual floor looms. All her handwovens begin as a cone of white yarn, which she dyes using traditional pigments from bugs, roots, resins, flowers, and stems. All materials are natural cottons, wool, silk, linen, hemp, ramie, jute, or other plant materials. Clothing here that is made with commercial fabrics is OEKO-TEX certified and then designed, hand dyed, cut, and sewn by Rachel.
